Parenting is a beautiful journey, but let’s be honest—it’s also exhausting. Between school runs, career deadlines, and keeping tiny humans alive, finding time to truly unwind can feel like an unattainable dream. My favorite place to escape reality is the Saxon Hotel, a sanctuary where luxury and relaxation come together in perfect harmony.

The Saxon Spa, renowned for its world-class treatments, has just taken things to an entirely new level with the introduction of the Subtle Energies holistic skin science facials and body treatments. This exclusive launch, a first for Johannesburg, is a true gift for those of us who seek indulgence blended with the most advanced skincare innovations.

Why You Deserve This


Life is demanding, and as moms, we often put everyone else’s needs before our own. But here’s the truth: when you care for yourself, you’re better equipped to care for others. Parenting may be demanding, but the moment I lay back to experience the “Advanced Holistic Biotech Facial” at the Saxon Spa, all the stress seemed to melt away. This wasn’t just a facial—it was a journey of renewal. Using all-natural products infused with powerful botanicals and cutting-edge bio-tech natural actives, the treatment felt like a reset for my skin and my soul. The vegan collagen and next-generation hyaluronic acid didn’t just hydrate—they worked to heal from within, enhancing my skin’s natural ability to restore itself. As I emerged with a radiant, plump complexion, I couldn’t help but feel like I had gifted myself something priceless: the glow of true self-care.

So book that treatment. Let the experts at Saxon Spa pamper you. Bask in the luxury of Subtle Energies and emerge renewed, radiant, and ready to conquer the world (or at least your next school pickup).
